If such certificate shall be so executed and filed with the village clerk, it shall be the duty of the village council to provide for and issue additional revenue bonds in the amount stated in such certificate to be necessary to complete the public improvement in accordance with the plans and specifications. 7/27/26, 10:12 AM Mayville, MI Code of Ordinances about:blank 172/202 (b) For subsequent extensions and improvements to the system; provided that no such additional bonds shall be issued unless the net revenues for the last preceding completed operating year of the system, when supplemented by the net revenues estimated to accrue from an increase in rates imposed at or prior to the time of authorization of the additional bonds and/or when supplemented by the net revenues estimated to accrue from the extensions and improvements to be paid for in whole or in part from the proceeds of sale of additional bonds, shall be equal to at least 135 percent of the largest annual principal and interest requirements thereafter maturing on the bonds authorized by Ordinance No. 48, on any then previously issued bonds of equal standing with the bonds authorized by Ordinance No. 48, and on such additional bonds then being issued. For the purpose of determining net revenues under the requirements of this subsection, if the village shall raise the rates at or prior to the time of authorizing such additional bonds, then the net revenues of the system for the last preceding operating year shall be augmented to an amount reflecting the effect of such increase had the village's sewer billings during such year been at the increased rates. In addition, the net revenues for the last preceding operating year shall be increased by an amount to reflect the increase in net revenues estimated to accrue from the extensions and improvements. Prior to the issuance of any additional bonds pursuant to this subsection, there shall be filed with the village clerk a statement showing the net revenues for the last preceding completed operating year, the net additional or augmented revenues reflecting the application of the increased rates and from the additions and extensions to be acquired and constructed, if any, and the annual principal and interest requirements on all outstanding bonds payable from revenues of the system, and the bonds proposed to be issued.

Disposition of revenue.

Print this section

The revenues of the sewer system shall be set aside as collected and deposited in a separate depositary account in the Mayville State Bank, Mayville, Michigan, a bank duly qualified to do business in the state, in an account to be designated "Sewage Disposal System Receiving Fund" (referred to in this section as the "receiving fund"), and such revenues so deposited are pledged for the purpose of the following funds and shall be transferred from the receiving fund periodically in the manner and at the times specified in this section: Operation and maintenance fund. Out of the revenues in the receiving fund, there shall be first set aside, commencing with the first quarter of operation of the system, and quarterly thereafter, into a separate depositary account, designated "Operation and Maintenance Fund," a sum sufficient to provide for the payment of the next quarter's expenses of administration and operation of the system and such expenses for the maintenance thereof as may be necessary to preserve the system in good repair and working order, as well as any sums necessary to pay current bills. The village council, prior to the commencement of each operating year, shall adopt a budget covering such expenses for each year, and such total expenses shall not exceed the total amount specified in the budget, except by a vote of four-fifths of the members of the village council. Bond and interest redemption fund. There shall next be established and maintained a separate depositary account, designated as the "Bond and Interest Redemption Fund," the moneys on deposit therein from time to time to be used solely for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest upon the bonds authorized by this article. The moneys in the bond and interest redemption fund 7/27/26, 10:12 AM Mayville, MI Code of Ordinances about:blank 175/202

  1. (3) (including the bond reserve account established in this subsection) shall be kept on deposit with the bank or trust company where the principal and interest on the bonds are currently payable. Out of the revenues remaining in the receiving fund, after provision has been made for expenses of operation and maintenance of the system, there shall next be set aside, quarterly, in the bond and interest redemption fund, a sum proportionately sufficient to provide for the payment of the principal of and interest upon all outstanding bonds payable from the revenues of the system as and when the principal and interest become due and payable. Commencing May 1, 1969, the amount so set aside for interest during each quarter of each operating year shall not be less than one-half of the total amount of interest maturing on the following interest payment date. The amount so set aside for principal during each quarter, commencing May 1, 1969, shall be not less than one- quarter of the amount of principal maturing on November 1 of the following year. If there shall be any deficiency in the amount previously required to be set aside, then the amount of such deficiency shall be added to the current requirements. There is hereby established in the bond and interest redemption fund a separate account, to be known as the "Bond Reserve Account," into which account there shall be set aside quarterly, after provision has been made for the operation and maintenance fund and current requirements of the bond and interest redemption fund, the sum of $2,000.00 during the fiscal year commencing April 1, 1969, until the bond reserve account shall total $10,000.00. The money in the bond reserve account shall be used solely for the payment of the principal and interest on the bonds as to which there would otherwise be default. If, at any time, it shall be necessary to use moneys in the bond reserve account for such payment, then the moneys so used shall be replaced from the net revenues first received thereafter which are not required by this section to be used for operation and maintenance or for current principal and interest requirements; provided, however, that such bond reserve account shall not be regarded as moneys otherwise appropriated or pledged for the purpose of determining the sufficiency of funds available for such redemption of callable bonds.

Replacement fund. There shall next be established and maintained a separate depositary account, designated the "Replacement Fund," which shall be used solely for the purpose of making major repairs and replacements to the system if needed. There shall be set aside into the fund quarterly, after provision has been made for the operation and maintenance fund 7/27/26, 10:12 AM Mayville, MI Code of Ordinances about:blank 176/202 (4) (5) (b) and the bond and interest redemption fund (including the bond reserve account), the sum of $1,000.00 during each of the fiscal years commencing April 1, 1969, through April 1, 1972, inclusive, until the replacement fund shall total $4,000.00. If at any time it shall be necessary to use moneys in the fund for such purpose, the moneys so used shall be replaced from the net revenues in the receiving fund which are not required by this section to be used for the operation and maintenance fund or the bond and interest redemption fund (including the bond reserve account). Improvement fund. There shall next be established and maintained an improvement fund for the purpose of making improvements, extensions and enlargements to the system.

If the moneys in the receiving fund are insufficient to provide for the current requirements of the operation and maintenance fund, or the bond and interest redemption fund, any moneys and/or securities in other funds of the system shall be transferred, first, to the operation and maintenance fund, and, second, to the bond and interest redemption fund, to the extent of any deficit therein.
